Problems regarding 24p to 29.97 conversion
Hey everyone,
I’m having some problems regarding the conversion of 24p projects to DV NTSC format. When I go to Interpret Footage – Guess 3:2 Pulldown, it does nothing. I then go in and manually choose random pulldowns and hope for the best, but all I get is a repeated frame after ever 4 frames. Any ideas? Sorry for my lack of knowledge on the subject … a bit new to the idea of pulldowns. Basically I just want to put my stuff on a DVD for a portfolio, and I have a mix of 24 and 29.97 projects.
Thanks for the help!

HI,
The interpret footage pulldown option is strictly for removing the 3:2 pulldown. To add a pulldown, you need to set it up in your render que.
Bring in your footage at 24fps (or 23.976 if you’re not into the whole brevity thing) When you add your comp to the render que, under “render settings” set field render to Lower Field First and 3:2 pulldown to one of the available settings (I usually use the first setting). Your output frame rate should automatically be set to 29.97fps
I hope this helps,
Lars
